*RULING ON CONGRATULATING OTHERS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW ISLAMIC YEAR*
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
The Islamic year of 1434 Hijriyya has now begun, it is well known the traditions of the world in celebrating and congratulating upon the arrival of the new year [AD], however what is the Islamic ruling on congratulations for the new Hijry year?
Shaikh al-Fawzaan, “This is an innovation, congratulating for the new year, it is an innovation; or commanding of fasting or charity [for the purpose of the new year] all of this is innovation, Allah has not revealed evidence upon it”
[Al-Muntaqa min Akhbaar Sayyid al-Mursaleen – 39: via Sahab]
Shaikh ibn ul-Uthaymeen, “If someone congratulates you then reply [i.e. make dua that Allah makes it a good and blessed year], but do not do it yourself [i.e. do not begin it yourself by congratulating someone initially]….I do not know that the Salaf used to congratulate each other for the arrival of the new year of Hijra…”
[Silsilatul Liqaa as-Shahry 20/44; via Sahab]

Makkah is only an hour's drive from Jeddah, but some put the status like they've been traveling for months to reach there. And their photos in Ihraam, or while making `Umrah**, or while making Du`aa, or while holding the Qur'aan...no words can justify this action.

**people have upgraded now...it's live broadcasting now while making `Umrah.

Nasheeds & Songs
Ibn al-Uthaymîn: "Nasheed is an innovation. It imitates what the Sufis innovated in the religion.

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymîyyah رحمه الله said:
“Music is forbidden according to all of the four Imaams.”
[al-Minhaj 3/442]
Sheikh Uthaymeen [رحمه الله]:
"If you see your brother debating and disputing when the truth is clear and he does not want to follow it, you should flee from him in the same way as you flee from a lion. Tell him that you have nothing more than that to say to him, and let him be."
[Sharh Hilyah Talib-ul-‘Ilm, Page 28]
Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Singing [and music] is worse and more harmful than stories of emperors, because it directs [one] to adultery and fornication and it is the fountainhead of hypocrisy. It is the snare of the Shaytaan, and it intoxicates the intellect, Its obstructing (people) from the Qur’aan is worse than any way in which other types of phony speech blocks them, because the souls of people lean towards [sounds like this] and have the desire to listen to it.”
[Ighaathatul-Lahfaan’,1/258-259]
Ibn Rajaab said:
"People started singing about alcohol & other sinful activities therefore the sahaba took a firm stance against music."
[Fat-h, Volume: 6, Page: 77]
Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه said:
"Music breeds hypocrisy in the heart just as water causes vegetation."
[Igātha al-Lahfān 1/225-268]
Imām ash-Shafi'ī [رحمه الله] said: "Whosoever listens to music, then he is an idiot (سفيه) whose testimony is to be rejected."
[الأم للشافعي (٦\٢٠٩)]
Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal [رحمه الله] was asked about ghinaa’ (singing/music). So, he said:
"Music causes hypocrisy to sprout/grow in the heart"

[Fatawaa Ala Hawaa - 05/05/34]
Shaykh al-Albanî [رحمه الله]: "Nasheeds may be performed in the manner of songs & performed like the customs of western music."

Shaykh al-Albanî [رحمه الله]: "This is a new mistake, and imitation of the non-muslims and immoral people."
[Ibid]
Shaykh 'Abdul Muhsin al-'Abbaad said,
"A person should spend his time with what will give him good in return in this life and the life after this. Let him occupy himself with remembrance of Allaah, read the Qur'aan and beneficial books. Moreover, it is also fine to listen to beneficial poetry which urges to noble character and good adab. But as for these Anasheed which are listened to in these times, and which are sung in choirs to thereafter be recorded and sold, one should neither listen to them nor care about them (i.e one should ignore them)."

The passing of another year is nothing to celebrate

They are common symbols in both Jewish and Muslim communities.
In Jewish communities it is called the Hamsa Hand or the Hand of Miriam.
In Muslim communities it is called the Hand of Fatima or the Khamsa.
Hamsa is the Hebrew word for five. Likewise Khamsa is the Arabic word for five.
The Hamsa hand and the Hand of Fatima are equally best known for the power to protect the owner from the evil eye and bring happiness to the holder.
The holder of the Hamsa expects to be protected from all negative energies. The most common negative energy being envious glares from people wishing you no good.
❌Hamsa Hand Meaning
The Hamsa hand is said to symbolize the five books of the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Some call these books “The Five Books of Moses”. Genesis starts with telling the story of the creation of the world and Deuteronomy ends with Moses dying in the land of Moab.
It may sometimes also be called “The Hand of Miriam”.
Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aron. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Aron became the first High Priest.
Miriam played an important role in the story of Moses and was highly respected.
Legend has it that it was due to Miriam’s virtues that the Israelites always found water during the forty years they wondered through the desert on their way towards the Promised land.
The well that seemed to follow the people of Israel is according to legend called Miriam’s well.
So Miriam came to represent protection, luck and happiness.
❌Fish Symbol on the Hamsa
Many times the Hamsa hand is decorated with fish drawings. Fish are traditionally a symbol of good luck.
As the fish also lives in the water, it is completely immune to the powers of the evil eye.
The fish symbol on the Hamsa hand therefore strengthens the protection from the evil eye.
❌Eye Symbol on the Hamsa
The eye drawing often found on the Hamsa represents the eye that sees everything. Nothing escapes this eye.
The eye watches out for the person in possession of the Hamsa and warns about and protects against evil encounters.
More and more people are seen wearing the Hamsa Hand or Hand of Fatima as amulets. There certainly is a lot of beautiful Hamsa Jewelry
Some people prefer larger pieces of this symbol. They may hang Pictures of the Hamsa Hand/Fatima Hand on the wall in their home for protection and good blessings.
In Jewish communities it is called the Hamsa Hand or the Hand of Miriam.
In Muslim communities it is called the Hand of Fatima or the Khamsa.
Hamsa is the Hebrew word for five. Likewise Khamsa is the Arabic word for five.

Title: Is it permissible for Muslims to buy goods (on sale) sold during christian holidays?
Answered by: Shaykh Ali bin Yahya bin Ali Al ‘Amiree Al Haddaadi
Question: Unfortunately here in the west (and some Muslim countries) we have clothing, furniture and other types of discount sales offered by shops, which take place during non Muslim holidays. Is it permissible to buy these items during these non-muslim celebrations to benefit from the discounts they offer?
Answer: Shaykh Ali Haddadi answered by saying, there is no problem buying goods in the sales during their holidays because buying and selling has nothing to do with their religion.
